'ion wmiiors a, kan? retain this position so long as the bolt 25 remains 1n closed position. By this means -the two sashes are locked together, and can jeeting end 26 0f the bolt 25 is forced iii-- wardly which removes the retaining Wall of the bolt 25 from the notch 24 of the bolt 18, and releases the latter which is at once withdrawn from the keeper 32 by the action of the spring 21.- IVhen the sashes are again to be locked in closed position the projecting end 19 of the bolt 18 is forced inwardly against the spring 21 which action moves the notch 24 into position to be engaged by the bolt 25, which thus locks the bolt 18 in its projected posit-ion and within the keeper 32.

The improved device is simple in construction, can be inexpensively manufactured, and applied to sashes of different sizes, and ell'ectually locks the sashes in closed position.

The casing and other parts may be oi any required size to adapt the device to sashes oi diifercnt sizes, and may be manufactured of any required material, or in any required ornamental shape.

Knobs are attached to the terminals 19-26 of the bolts 18-24 to improve the appearance.
